CivicDataLab works with a goal to use data, tech, design and social science to strengthen the course of civic engagements. We work to harness the potential of open-source movement to enable citizens to engage better with public reforms. We aim to grow data and tech literacy of various governments, nonprofits, think-tanks, media houses, universities etc to enable data-driven decision making at scale. The team has been instrumental in starting initiatives like DataKind Bangalore, Open Budgets India, etc. We believe in becoming thought partners in change with the help of our collaborations.
